I absolutely love these shorts. They sit low and the waistband is not at all restrictive, which gives me the confidence to run in just these and a sports bra in hot weather. Like some of the other reviewers, I found that these run about 1/2 to one size large. I am 5'6", 125 lbs, and have 36" hips; I needed size XS.

Flattering shorts, very comfortable and lightweight, but the fit is a little too large and the drawstring is hard to adjust. I'm 5'7" and 115 lbs, size S was too big, but rolling over the waistband helps a little.

This is my absolute favorite pair of running shorts. They're light weight, comfortable, casual.I'm writing this review after buying a pair, loving them, and I'm coming back to the site to buy more!I would have to agree with previous comments that they fit SLIGHTLY bigger, but I think this style adds to the comfort. I still stuck with the same size I usually order. They don't rub on long runs. They hang nicely from my hips and don't "poof" out like other running shorts I have had. They have a sporty fit and are very flattering.

I am very picky when it comes to the fit of my running shorts. I tried on over 10 pairs (maybe more) of running shorts this year. The only one I purchased was this one. The waist band is great, sits right on my hips, doesn't slide up. I am on here to buy a couple more, as my local stores only carry a few colors.

The removal of the elastic waist band creates a too big feel. I have to tie it up VERY tight to feel comfortable. I wear a small and that was always a perfect fit. The small now fits way too big. I tried the XS and it was too restricting.
